Peluso CEK 67 Details
These capsules are made by Peluso Microphone Lab. They buy the metal work from China and then the sputtering and diaphragm work is done at their lab in the U.S. These are very nice capsules, with great frequency and transient response. These are of the finest quality, and with the costly machine shop work done in China, we can sell them at a fraction of the cost of a comparable German capsule.



So for sure they are making capsules in the US (aside from the metal casting/machining). I couldn't find a specific reference to the 2247 capsule, but it's likely true that it's also made in VA.
